Answer:

The sales tax rate is 5%

Given:

Sales price = 5.00

Total amount paid = 5.25

Sales tax value = Total amount paid - sales price

                         = $5.25 - $5.00 

Sales tax value = $0.25

Sales tax rate = Sales tax / Sales price

                       = 0.25/5 

Sales tax rate  = 0.05 or 5%

4x + 12 = -7y<br> -y + 12 = 4x<br> Solve with elimination
statuscvo [17]
Take the second equation and flip it around so the y on the left ends up on the right and the 4x on the right ends up on the left.  This makes all negatives positive and all positives negative.   -4x   + 12  = y 

Then add the first equation to the second equation 
4x   +12   = -7y
<u>-4x   + 12  </u>=<u> y </u>   this eliminates the x's
          <u>24</u> = -<u> 6y</u>            then divide by - 6
           - 6     - 6
         - 4    = y<u>

</u>So if you know that y = negative 4, you can substitute into either equation.  I pick the second one because I am a lazy person.  
  -y  + 12  = 4 x
-(-4) + 12 = 4 x     combine your numbers<u>
</u>   <u>  16     </u> = <u>4 x  </u>      then divide by 4<u>
</u>       4      =  x
So your solution is: x = 4 and y = -4 or this is also written (4, -4)

Does that work for you?
